Border Wall
What does the US import from Mexico?
On Thursday, the White House floated the idea of imposing a 20 percent tax on imports from Mexico in order to fund Donald Trump's border wall. A certain level of avocado angst was circulating on both sides of the border in the hours after the proposal became public knowledge.

According to the Congressional Research Service, motor vehicles and parts form the bulk of US imports from Mexico. Read more on the Independent.
